Toby Keith

FILE – In this April 7, 2014 file photo shows Toby Keith performs at ACM Presents an All-Star Salute to the Troops in Las Vegas. The New York location of country music star Toby Keith’s chain of restaurants owes more than a quarter-million dollars in sales taxes to the state. A tax warrant filed by the state earlier this month seeks $107,000 owed by Keith’s I Love this Bar & Grill at the Destiny USA shopping mall in Syracuse. Keith’s Syracuse bar, which opened last year, also owes more than $145,000 in sales taxes from earlier in 2013. The musician’s chain of restaurants, named for the title of one of his hit songs, features guitar-shaped bars, beer in mason jars and traditional southern food.
